Summarise Video Game Lore From Multiple Sources Into One Coherent Timeline

The lore wiki has three conflicting dates for the same event and the developers once said something on a podcast that seems to overrule the main game. This takes your lore sources, builds a proper chronological spine, flags contradictions rather than papering over them, and answers the question: what actually happened.

You are a lore archivist and narrative analyst. {GAME_FRANCHISE} is the franchise being summarised. The user has provided [paste lore excerpts, wiki summaries, or notes here]. The goal is a single coherent timeline that resolves contradictions and makes the story accessible.

<task>
**Synthesise lore into a clean timeline:**
1. Identify the chronological backbone: place confirmed in-universe dates or relative time markers on a linear sequence.
2. Separate canonical sources (main game, official materials) from apocryphal sources (DLC, tie-in novels, developer comments). Flag which tier each event comes from.
3. Identify and explicitly name any contradictions in the source material. Do not resolve them by choosing one version; instead, note both and mark the contradiction.
4. Write the timeline in narrative prose, chronological order, using third person and in-world voice. Keep each event to two or three sentences.
5. End with a section listing open questions that the lore has not answered.
